Slower week

This week, we really don't have a lot going on, but I thought I'd better post an update!

Last week, I was out of town, so that's why there were no posts for so long.

The work going on last week was behind the scenes - our builder was working on coordinating suppliers and sub-contractors. That work has continued this week.

They have also started framing the interior walls of the basement in preparation for the sub-flooring for the first floor. My builder tells me this is pretty boring. Well, it might be for him! BUT - I've never seen the walls of my new home being framed in! Nonetheless - it's a muddy mess out there, and so I'm staying away for now. Our truck will not hold me and the five children, and I'm not willing to chance getting our minivan stuck in the mud with all those construction workers there! How embarrassing would that be!

Right now, and Lord willing, the subflooring will be complete early next week, and the SIP's (outer walls - more on them, later) will be installed on December 22. I'm told that if that date doesn't work out, then they'll be installed on the 29th. We'll be sure to have pictures and video of that available!

We also have a neighbor to the north of us who is busy building his own home, so it's kind of fun to get a first-hand look at two completely different types of construction happening at the same time.
